The workshop will focus on the applicability of modern FPGA-based technology for scientific computing, including a review of present state of the art, technical challenges, and opportunities for supercomputing of scientific interest with particular emphasis on non-von Neumann architectures.

FPGA-based devices are characterized by its low-cost along with a huge versatility to implement different concurrent tasks and critical activities such as hard real-time data acquisition, processing and transmission. These features make these devices very attractive for frontier scientific applications. The workshop will provide a thoroughly review of present state of the art of FPGA-based architectures and design methodologies with emphasis on high performance computational applications.

The workshop will consist of about 65 hours of theoretical lectures and assisted hands-on activities. The selected faculty will be composed by lecturers from prestigious universities, hi-tech companies and research institutions.
The workshop will be primarily addressed to researchers, teachers and advanced students who need to master modern FPGA-based technologies for their scientific and academic activities.
